Item Strengthening Data Sovereignty Through Digital Watermarking in Data Spaces(2025-01-07) Hellmeier, Malte; Qarawlus, HaydarData spaces have emerged as a paradigm for maintaining data sovereignty and interoperability in data sharing among various stakeholders. There is an increasing interest and progress in research and practice whereby currently used implementations only enable data sovereignty within their trusted environments. Digital watermarking, a key concept in the research domain of information hiding, addresses similar principles of securing data ownership, while its integration within data spaces remains unexplored. This paper combines both domains by presenting the first integrated digital watermarking solution in a data space. Guided by design science research, we designed and developed two extensions for the connector of the Eclipse Dataspace Components in the Java programming language to validate the solution's practicality. The resulting artifact shows a robust data sovereignty enhancement, paving the way for more protection and control in future data spaces.Item Towards Overcoming the Barriers to Open-Source Software Adoption in Traditional Industries(2025-01-07) Duparc, Estelle; Steffen, Barbara; Stodolka, Wibke; Van Der Valk, HendrikTraditional industries, such as automotive or logistics, face the challenge of digital transformation. Diverse barriers, for example, missing business strategies or the slow adoption of new technologies, complicate the industries’ transition to “Industry 4.0”. The software industry has a rich tradition of using open-source (OS) components to fuel digitalization and standardization. The OS concept leverages the innovation potentials of the OS community and fuels the dissemination of new technologies. However, up until now, ‘traditional’ industries have left these potentials mostly untapped as they focus their business on proprietary assets, neglecting the strategic benefits of OS. This study aims to develop an action guide to fuel the adoption of the OS concept for strategic purposes based on a structured literature review and an interview study resulting in an ISM analysis. The preliminary results analyze the existing OS barriers and their interrelationships to develop an action guide that tackles all identified barriers efficiently.Item Exploring Digital Transformation Opportunities of Data Spaces(2025-01-07) Hutterer, Andreas; Krumay, BarbaraData spaces have gained increasing attention due to the possibility of integrating heterogeneous data sources, which is particularly important for furthering digital transformation since sharing data is among its main drivers. Initiatives such as International Data Spaces (IDS) and GAIA-X contribute to the establishment of trustworthy data infrastructures, thereby strengthening data sovereignty. Previous research, however, has predominantly focused on technical aspects, while the opportunities for digital transformation arising from data spaces remain largely unexplored in information systems research. To address this gap, we applied a systematic mapping approach to 54 studies and identified five digital transformation opportunities: democratization, federalization, justification, servitization and sovereignization. Interestingly, data spaces as novel digital platforms are characterized by the decentralized autonomy of data owners. Our findings not only enrich the current body of knowledge but also support organizations in making informed decisions for cross-organizational data sharing projects regarding the adoption of data spaces.Item Introduction to the Minitrack on Federated Industrial Platform Ecosystems: Technologies, Business Models, and Data-Driven Artifacts(2025-01-07) Duparc, Estelle; Große, Nick; Hunker, Joachim; Van Der Valk, Hendrik
